TOPIC: WAYS GOD BLESSES A MAN (RICHES)

BIBLE TEXT: 1 King 3:4-15
[4]And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.
[5]In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
[6]And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
[7]And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.
[8]And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.
[9]Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?
[10]And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
[11]And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;
[12]Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.
[13]And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.
[14]And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.
[15]And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.

MEMORY VERSE: Psalms 84:11c “No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly”

LESSON AIM: God is the giver of riches.

CHILD RELATED TRUTH: Ask God for riches and wealth.

INTRODUCTION: Deuteronomy 8:18 And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it 1s He who gives you power to get wealth that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers as it is this day. The above verse speaks the mind of God concerning your covenant of riches which only Him can bring to pass as long as you remain in Him. Isaiah 48:17. Ask, trust and depend on God tor your riches.

C. And Solomon said “Now O Lord my God, you have made your servant king after his father David but I am a little child I do not know how to go out or come in. Solomon acknowledged his lack of wisdom as a child and came to ask God for help. Do you acknowledge your weakness or sinful state? Who do you turn to for help?
D. Solomon asked for understanding heart to judge the people of Israel, to discern between good and evil.
E. Solomon’s speech pleased the Lord because he did not as for long life or riches for himself or the lite ot his enemies but for understanding to discern justice

CLIMAX: God said to him See I have given you a wise and understanding heart So that there is none like you among the kings all your days.

CONCLUSION: God also promise to lengthen his days if he walks in His ways just like his father David to keep His commandments. So Solomon returned to Jerusalem and
worshiped God with a burnt offering and made a feast with his servants
